Yenniffer England, a 32-year-old nurse’s assistant and DACA recipient, has been held in ICE custody in Texas for nearly three months after she was stopped for driving with a suspended license. She was born in Mexico but was brought to the United States at the age of 4. She leaves behind two daughters, aged 12 and 14. This comes as immigration lawsuits hit a record 9,911 in March 2026 alone, up 1,278% from five years ago, driven almost entirely by habeas corpus filings that have surged 85 times over the past year as immigration attorneys challenge ICE’s mass detention and deportation campaign. Meanwhile, Florida’s notorious “Alligator Alcatraz” jail in the Everglades is set to close by June, after DHS concluded the facility’s $1 million-per-day price tag was too expensive.
